Russian Scientific Discoverers.

For four or five years past Russian
scientific men have been stationed at or
near the mouth of the Lena, carrying on
first the work of one of the circumpolar
stations and then engaging in the ex-
ploration of the delta and of a part of
the large region eastward. They have
made number of interesting discover
les. and scientific zeal has been richly re-
warded even in this apparently desolate
country. In the region where the pole
of greatest cold is situated these explor-
ers have collected 400 kinds of plants,
numerous archaeological specimens and
large number of insects and other in
vertebrate.
Among the mountains that divide the
Lena from the Yana basins Baron Won
Toll obtained six specimens of mountain
sheep. He has made a special study of
the fauna of the sea coast, and the latest
news from him was that he was going
with party of natives to find a NAM
moth which a recent land slide had re-
vealed. An important feature of the
work of this party has been the complete
exploration of the large Yana river from
its headwaters to the sea, including two
of its affluents. York Sun.

1t is a frequent fashion to proclaim the
general worthlessness of American women
from the animal standpoint. They lack
the breadth of back and the massiveness
of limb observed in lands where wives
plow with the OK and daughters delve in
the mines. The American woman looks
after her household, rears her children,
makes happy a husband for whom she is
much too good, and in her old age takes
JOY in manly sons and womanly daugh-
tiers. 1t is SANDER to call her incompe-
tent. or say that she falls short in the
measure of duty, when compared to the
women of other lands, whose strength
she has. but whose grossness she lacks.
Just now the fashion in talk has
changed. 1t is the man who is the weak
ling, and who is hrlrrying the nation to
extinction. There is a craze for big BIZ
ceps and abnormal calves. In all of
which there is considerable nonsense and
some wisdom. Statistics show that in
America length Of life is increasing. Men
are as healthy and as happy and as capa-
bic as hundred years ago. Some strip
lings may go out of life in cloud of
cigarette smoke, but they are not drag
ging the nation toward extinction, and
some of sound body will be left to bury
the dead, in spite of the croakers who
seem to think this continent is develop
ing into graveyard.-Omaha Herald.

Where They Use Stills.

1t is in the large plains, called 'Lian-
dees." in southwest France, that the poo
pie use stills as matter of course. These
plains are generally flooded, though not
to sufficient depth to enable people to
get about in boats. The stills are held
in the hand like those we are accustomed
to see, but are firmly strapped to the side
of the leg. The person wearing them
carries long pole to balance himself and
aid him in walking. The pole has usually
a cross piece at one end, SO that by put
ting it at slant on the ground behind
him the person on stills can sit down on
it and rest. 1t is common occurrence
in that country to see men and women
sitting and knitting in this exalted po-
sition, while the sheep they are tending
wander about the plain. Thep wear
their stills all day long, putting them on
when they go out in the morning and
taking them off only when they return
home at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Call.

Electric Headlights Not Safe.

alt is my candid opinion" said an en-
gineer on the st. Paul road, ''that cleo
trio headlights on locomotives are not
feasible The Pyle invention, which is
looked upon with more favor than all
others, is this: The arc is maintained at
the same point. or the focus. by making
the lower elcctrode a stationary copper
rod, while the upper positive electrode
consists of the usual carbon, and is regu-
lated by suitable mechanism. 1t is
claimed for the invention that the arc is
not only kept at a constant focus by rea-
son of the stationary and non-consuming
negative pole. but by means of steady
ing and guiding arm, embracing the
electrode near the arc, all lateral play or
vibration is prevented and the arc is
maintained laterally in fixed position.
We have been experimenting with a
view to adapting the electric light to To-
connective headlights. 1t has already
caused us one smashup, the presence of
the dynamo machine on the footboard of
the engine, having had the effect of de-
moraizing the timepieces of both engineer
and engine. The locomotives themselves
became magnetized and contrary. An
| OlIer tnlnS against llle d,O)llOn vi lile
electric light on trains is that it will make
engineers nervous. You never heard of
lightning striking train of cars running
at full speed. No amount of argument
could convince an engineer that an cleo
trio light in front of his engine would
prove anything but a menace to his train
in thunderstorm. Most locomotive en-
| gineers are superstitious, and they look
with suspicion upon any kind of tinkering
with the present mechanism of the iron
horse. Chicago Herald.

DIR. G. o. Fraser, of Randolph, o.,
says: Seeing different remedies recon-
mended for bee stings, l wish to say that
have tried alkalies, soda, ammonia,
liquor pottassa, honey, rub with an onion,
bruised tobacco, etc., and with thirty
years experience can say that a small
amount of oil of cinnamon, applied with
a small straw, end of knitting needle, or
small splinter, is worth more than all the
rest. Use only little, for it will blister.

"Put down that basket, John, and
kindle a fire. Mrs. Quicktemper spoke
in a voice low and tremulous with feel
ing, and as she glanced about the cold
and darkened room she shuddered at the
thought that human beings should be
obliged to dwell in such place.

The appearance of the room has not
changed since the visit of Mrs Jealous
and Miss Prim the day before, save that
the tempestuous winds had driven the
snow in through the broken window and
covered the rough board floor with cold
white mantle. The little iron cot in the
corner was partly concealed by the fast
falling shadows of the approaching night.
Even there, too, the snow had found its
way and nestled in queer little drifts
about the outstretched human form on
the cot. At the head of the bed knelt
little Dan, his face pillowed upon his
mothers bosom and his thick brown curls

sound was heard. not even, the breathing
of the two unconscious figures in the
corner. The wind outside had died
away, and the snow fell lightly and 81
lently into the street below.
Hurry, John, and get up a good
blaze!' spoke Mrs. Quicktemper. And
John with his foot cleared away the snow
from the fireplace, and on the ashes of
poor Dams box soon had bright roar
ing fire. The sparks danced merrily
about, and formed striking contrast to
the shifting snowtlakes outside. The
glimmerinS light chased the dark shadows
away, and revealed distinctly every OBJ
ject in the apartment. Mrs. Quicktemper
stepped forward with outstretched hand
to awaken the sleeping objects of her
bountiful but tardy charity. A gesture
from John, whose quick eye had in
stantly in the light read the fate of
mother and child, caused her to pause,
and with blanched cheek and fearful
eyes she heard:
TOO late, mum-they be dead. -

"The meeting will please come to Or
der" called the dignified matron who
officiated as president of the regular
Church Relief society.
AT our last meeting, ladies'" spoke
the president, "a resolution was adopted
providing for systematic plan of char
table work. The city was divided into
districts, and eah member of this society
was assigned on, district, with the under
standing that sic should confine herself
to that particularly defined field of labor.
We are now assembled for the purpose
of listening to your several reports, and
to act upon whltever recommendations
may be made cncerning the appropria-
ton and expenditure of money. The
first thing in orCer is the reception of re-
ports from thoseladies to whom districts
were assigned"
After brief pause Mrs. Precise took
the floor and red from her gold bound
tablets some memoranda concerning half
dozen poor fmilies that she had Wis
tied. She asked for an order ON the
society's Treasurer for SEQ, to he ex-
pended in the purchase of food and
clothing. The appropriation was unhes-
itatingly made.
Mrs. Goodheat, a gentle faced lady,
next narrated touching incident of
poverty and distress that had come under
her observation he day before. She had
thought best to nlieve the sufferers with
out drawing on be funds of the society.
Mrs. Closefist asked for 81 to buy a
pair of shoes ff hes washerwoman' s
little girl. The Niles exchanged signifi-
cant glances, bu no one voted against
the appropriation
Mrs. Quickterper regretted that i'm
perative social engagements had pre-
vented her fromgiving any attention to
her district, but De next week she hoped
to be able to ddote almost entirely to
the good work.

the recital was finished.

to try and cheer them up. You see, l
